TL;DRAbstract

This research focused on the study of the influence of different sintering temperature of physical and mechanical behaviour of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (Al MMC) reinforced with alumina (Al2O3). Al MMC reinforced with rigid ceramic particulates have become increasingly important for structural applications in aerospace, automotive and other transport industries, because of their high specific strength and modulus, good wear resistance as well as ease of processing. In this project, the influence of sintering temperature was investigated on its hardness and microstructure. These Al MMCs have been traditionally fabricated by powder metallurgy (PM) method. There are three main steps in PM which are blending, compacting and sintering. The experiments were performed on 10% weight percentage of Al2O3 on different sintering temperature. In this study, five specimens of the composite were sintered with different temperature which are 400 0C, 450 0C, 500 0C, 550 0C, and 600 0C. Then, the
